Policies and Procedures - DDA

The DDA Online Policy was established to support the Agency’s mission and to provide employees, stakeholders, and interested parties access to the mainstay of the Agency’s practice standards regarding accountability for compliance with all applicable legal requirements.

Person-Centered Thinking

Person-centered thinking is a philosophy behind service provision that supports positive control and self-direction of people’s own lives. DDS is working to implement this through training sessions and other agency wide initiatives.

Employment First Initiative

Under the Employment First philosophy, competitive, integrated employment is the first and overwhelmingly preferred option for working-age youth and adults with disabilities.
